993 Rear Calipers used on front?

Can 993 Caipers be used for front brakes...

I was think about using them on the front of my T3 and using 994T on the rear.

these are the part numbers 993.352.425.10 and 993.352.426.10

I would be woried about some real brake bias issues. Maybe if the piston size was known that would be helpfull.

i didn't think to ask when we were talking about it, but why not go 951 all the way around. i agree with genius that you could see some bias issues. i believe the 993's are a good 10-20% larger than front 951 calipers. bias might be closer with front 951s on the rear. pot size needs to be verified though.

the m/c is obviously going to have to be upsized also.
